I need some prop work done to a damaged prop and need some recommendations? Thanks for advance for the help.
don't know where in Indiana you are, but if anywhere around Jeffersonville there's a place called Tuckers Landing that does that. they did a job for me a while back and my prop looked like new
Tuckers is in Clarksville, behind Wal Mart. No need to go anywhere else.
There's a place in Muncie or Marion Used to be Delaware prop. A former employee bought the business. He does good work. I'll see if I can come up with the number.
Delaware Prop 1717 N. Walnut Muncie In 765-284-1539
Delaware Prop is now Cash Prop 765-284-1539 or 765-729-1797. I use to mail my prop to them for repair and they would mail it back.
Indianapolis used to have Precision Prop on Ritter Ave. Don't know if they are still there, but did a great job on my stainless steel prop several years ago.
Mark Croxton in Shelbyville. Look under Mark's props. He is one of the best in the country. He's on Bass Boat Centrals website too.

Thanks for all the replies. The Clarksville shop makes the most sense for me. I should of put in the post I am near Jasper IN. Only thing bad about the Clarksville one is it looks like it's walking distance from BPS! I was just there last Saturday they had a Sam Heaton 10 ft. jigging pole regular price $69 fro $39. I was thinking I should of gotten two at that price. It would of been the last two there at least at the time I was there. I think Jim Raymer was there doing a seminar that day too.

What about the cost? I would think repairing a cheap aluminum prop may not be worth it. I can replace my 3 blade, 10"x 13 pitch for $80 at Wholesale Marine.com, Any thoughts ? Oh, it's on a 25 hp Johnson 2 cyl. Thanks
don't remember the cost on mine, but it was aluminum on a Force 50. i do remember that I was surprised at how little it cost compared to what I was expecting it to be. When I got it back it looked like a new one
I would be surprised if I could find a prop for my outboard. Its a 1988 Chrysler 75 hp.

Depends on the severity of the damage. If a bunch of welding and grinding is involved, then for a smaller prop it would make more sense to just get a new one. For the prop you're talking about on a small outboard, I'd just go new and be done with it.Quote:
